Re: Pad material

Dear Paul (and everybody else)l: silicone reflects the pressure waves really well. We have experimented with this by making our own silicone pads, but this didn't work because silicone didn't give the necessary imprint/indentation. If you have a silicone foam-like material, the imprint (is this the right word?) wouldn't be necessary. Is there a difference between "fish-skin pads" and "bladder pads"? I find that these old-fashioned pads are best, but wear out too fast. Some players in France still swear by them because of their, according to them, superior acoustic properties: Philippe Cuper, for example. But they don't have to pay for their repair work!
